[edit] Licensing and fair use justification

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Maronite mummies" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

It is submitted that use of the image in the article "Maronite mummies" is fair under U.S. copyright law, and the laws of other jurisdictions where applicable, for the following reasons:

The image is not replaceable. the manuscript is now housed at the National Museum of Lebanon in Beirut, Lebanon. For preservation reasons, it is highly unlikely that visitors to the museum will be permitted to take photographs of the manuscript. Therefore, it is also unlikely that an image which does not rely on the doctrine of fair use is easily obtainable.
The image is small and of a low resolution.
Use of the image in the article is unlikely to impair the sale of the original, high-quality photograph.
